Visit Indonesia 08'.

20th Dec 07 - 6th Jan 08

How do I start. So yes, I've just reached back in KL last night and caught up with my family and friends again. Philip and I departed together and flew back together. Of course, he was there to see Eliz and her family. So we stayed separately but met up twice in Senayan City and Borobudur. There's just too much to say about a two and a half weeks trip. Took me hours just editing and uploading these photos. Basically, traffic is a mess, and the drivers there, are awesome! I mean, everyone's reckless yet such a low accident rate. Stayed in Serpong, where Pam and her family was such a hospitable family and treated me so well. I didn't really went to a lot of places, but at least I've tried all sorts of food there. Now for my own good, I'm gonna note this down.

Malls I've been to:
Sumarecon Mal Serpong (SMS)
Senayan City
Pondok Indah Mall
Mal Taman Angrek
Supermal Lippo Karawaci
BSD Junction/ ITC

Lontong (CapGohMei Style)
Ayan Suharti

We went to Jogja, to see Borobudur. The roadtrip was a long 10 hour drive there, and we only stop once to stay for a night. We passed by these towns.

Cirebon
Sumedang
Tegal
Semarang
Sala Tiga
Babat
Indramayu
Sleman Kampung (Stopped by)
Padalarang
Pamanukan
Kopeng


Once we're there, I took a good look and feel of Candi Borobudur, that used to be one of the 7 wonders of the world. The details of the landmark and the level of IQ of the people who built it during that century, unbelievable! Then, we ate dinner in Jogja, because it was flooding so badly we had to delay our journey back. We then head back on the same day and Pam's dad drove a crazy 39 hour drive, which he stopped by at some gas stations to sleep for 15 minutes of so. What a strong driver! Also, we went to Puncak and stayed a night there, celebrated Christmas as well, I had so much fun!




In SMS, where I posted the previous post.


Playing Putt-Putt near her house.
Didn't know it was as exciting!


Such a cute game. I like!


D'Cost, right beside OceanPark.

Pondok Indah Mal, trying on the famous Bakmi GM.


The 10 hour drive to Jogja.

We caught up with Philip, Eliz and her family.
We both reached on the same day in Jogja, coincidentally.


There, Candi Borobudur.





This is somewhere near the house of Manusia Akar,
you can check that out on Youtube.


In Puncak for Christmas.
Where one of Pam's uncle has this humongous house.


Om Agus.


Tante Elia. Opening presents session,
where I enjoyed the most!


The restaurant we stopped by in Puncak.




I love the Sop Buntut!
Which is the Ox's Tail soup delicacy.


Her house in Alam Sutera, Serpong.


Bandung. The cheapest and best shopping option
for both tourist and the locals.


Christmas in Puncak. Family photo, and a stranger.


A family that has taught me alot
about the term 'family' and 'letting go'.
Thanks for EVERY SINGLE THING!
